Yogi, my cousin drove for them and loved them. He made pretty good money. The downside is (well not really) is he was running 4000 a week! I ran his logbooks for the first 5 months of him being out there! Windy Hill does a lot of multi stop lowes, walmarts, home depots etc... He liked it because when he did shutdown he always had his own private parking spot. This was due to delivery to the actual store instead of the warehouses. He would be parked on the side of home depot sitting outside his truck cooking on his little bbq. Another thing he really liked about WH was that they left him alone. They didn't hound him on the Qualcomm all day. He said as long as you knew what you were doing and didn't F-up then they didn't bother you.

Good luck Yogi, I think you will end up liking it there. Oh yeah one more thing, don't expect some big fancy terminal here in Eustis. It is just a garage with a little office inside. The main terminal is in WI.

 

So I move down here to drive for windy hill...I take my drug test pass....take my road test pass....They say we will get u into a truck ok so i tell them originaly sunday i will be ready to go out..they say ok..i keep asking them about a truck they do not know anything yet...so i tell them i am ready to go out earlier i am ready to go friday..they say ok lets get u a truck...so i do as i was told call in beetween 9am and 10am everyday...i keep getting the same answer we will know something 2morrow..of so the last time i call in is friday they say we will call u before 12 noon sat and let u know what is going on with a truck....so sat i w8 and i never get a call....so here it is tuesday and no call no truck and no money...so now i am spending money and not makeing money so i am worried now that this company is a Bull #$%^ company?...so i get the local paper to find a add that says cdl driver needed..i call it and get a interview....it is for a local dumptrucking company here in florida.........so i figure no call from windy hill if i get this other job i am going to take it......just a update to all interested in windy hill.....get ur truck before u get stuck....cause they got me down here with no job.........still no call....hmmmm.....now i taked to a few drivers they said they like it.....so i dunno what happened but not good for me!

 

try down the street at service trucking ??

 

Yogi keep in mind they are a small company and they don't have thousands of trucks sitting in the yard. Just a little note from my cousin he told me yesterday that Windy Hill is getting all new trucks. Cascadia's. Might be worth your wait. If they don't have a truck right away it really isn't in their hands. Personally I would definitely tell you to try and wait it out. They are a good company to run for. I know it sucks with your money situation though. Gotta do what you gotta do! I would keep calling them everyday though. Good luck man!

 

Yeah, that's great advice Chompi.
Sit down there making $0.00 waiting for some two-bit coolie outfit to buy new trucks while the bills keep rolling in.

 

I like windy hill,

don't take it the wrong way.

But they are about to have their authority revoked AGAIN if they aren't careful !!!
